Disrupt Aging Healthy Community Challege

The Disrupt Aging Community Health Challenge is a community challenge developed in partnership with the YMCA and AARP in North Carolina. The challenge posed to encourage users to take part in Social, Community, Physical, and/or Intellectual activities as part of an ongoing effort by both organizations to reach out and enhance the community.

For this marching season, I arranged all music for the front-ensemble from the outline provided by the show arranger to match the needs of the students and to purposefully challenge their skills.

Seven Stages for Piano and Vibraphone

This is a piece that I composed which modulates through an adventure of emotional stages. While I have beliefs about what these emotions are, I leave it up to the audience to decide what they see and feel from the piece. The following video is a performance from my performance recital at UNCG, performed by Sara Wood and Melissa Mitchel

The Hybrid Learning Music Classroom

Following completion of my capstone at UNCW, I presented at the 2015 NCMEA Annual Conference to discuss the process, strategies, and research performed in the capstone. I chose to focus heavily on the possibilities that the research demonstrated that technology incorporation could provide the music classroom.

Keep it Simple and Make it Interactive

In 2013 I was asked by the director of the NCMEA Technology Board to write an article for the North Carolina Music Educator’s quarterly publication, the NCMEA Journal. I wrote an article for the NCMEA Journal called “Keep it Simple and Make it Interactive” (North Carolina Music Educators Journal 5 May 2013: 16-18) which discussed challenges facing teachers wanting to incorporate technology into their curriculum and approaches to doing so. The article was later republished by Georgia Music News (Vol. 74 No. 1, Fall 2013: 25-27), Nebraska Music Educators Journal (Vol. 72 No. 1, August, 2013: 66-68), and the National Federation of State High School Associations Music Association Journal (Vol. 31 No 2 June, 2015: 5-9).
